Hall of Science
My Dear: This Fair is wonderful - an education for any and every age.
Will talk to you when I get home as it would easily fill a book to
write what we have seen. Youngsters and I are fine and enjoying every
minute.

Streets of Paris
Hello Al; couldn’t write sooner. I’ve been busy as hell.
Already completed a paint job and am now considering an offer to play
in a speakeasy. There’s more dough in working in clubs than in
the Worlds Fair. This sure is one tough Burg. You’ll enjoy every
minute in this town. Fair is exquisite. I’ll write later.

pleasant – Will be leaving here tomorrow –

Belgian Village
We had dinner here the first evening. We are now in the streets of
Paris where there are mobs waiting to see more than they can. There
is plenty of activity around here and the grounds are very scenic with
a color scheme of orange yellow green blue and silver. Went up in the
sky rocket. Yesterday one of the cars stuck halfway across the lagoon
and the passengers waited for hours until some heroes (?) walked the
cables and brought the car back to safety.

years ago.

Harrison Hotel
Dear Grace, Walked to the Fair and had a grand day from 8.30 to 8.30.
Suzie (?) so excited her chief thrill is walking over bridges & going
up & down stairs. The Fair has many new things but I liked the
tone (?) better last year.
